The 2025 Toronto Blue Jays Are Writing Baseball History

From 74 Wins to World Series Glory

Picture a team that finished dead last a year ago, now one swing from ending a 32-year championship drought. The Toronto Blue Jays lead the Dodgers 3-2 in the World Series, and every pitch feels like the ninth inning of 1993 all over again. Rogers Centre is electric, the country is glued to screens, and a rookie pitcher just carved up the best lineup money can buy. This isn’t just a baseball story—it’s the kind that keeps you up long after the lights go out.

The Greatest Turnaround in Franchise History

Rewind to 2024: 74 wins, last place, and a fan base wondering if the window had slammed shut. Fast-forward twelve months and the Jays post 94 wins, snag the AL East on the season’s final day, and ride a league-best 49 comeback victories into October. That 20-game improvement is the biggest single-season jump in franchise history since the mid-’80s. They didn’t rebuild; they reloaded with the same core and a whole lot of fight.

Key Moments and Players for Blue Jays in This Current World Series

Game 5 belongs to rookie Trey Yesavage—seven innings, one earned run, twelve strikeouts, a new World Series record for a first-year arm. The kid from North Carolina made Clayton Kershaw look mortal.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. keeps launching rockets; his Game 4 bomb off Max Scherzer cleared the left-field deck and landed somewhere near the 401. He’s already at seven playoff homers and sniffing Reggie Jackson’s single-postseason record.
Davis Schneider, the late-blooming Canadian, turned a seeing-eye single into a hustle double that sparked the Game 5 rally. And don’t sleep on Bo Bichette’s grand slam in the ALDS that buried the Yankees. Every hero has a moment; the Jays have a highlight reel.

Dodgers vs Blue Jays

On paper, it’s the $350-million Dodgers—private jets, superstar pedigree, defending champs—against Toronto’s $255-million lunch-pail crew. L.A. brought the glamour; the Jays brought the grit. Homegrown stars, timely call-ups, and a bullpen that refuses to blink. So far the underdog blueprint is working: heart is outslugging the wallet, and the Rogers Centre faithful are the loudest twelfth man in baseball.

70% Implied Odds to Win Tonight—But It’s Not Over

Books have the Jays at -235 to close it out tonight, roughly a 70% chance to spray champagne before midnight. Yet the Dodgers send Yoshinobu Yamamoto to the hill with a -135 line to force Game 7. One swing, one bad hop, one missed strike, and the script flips. Baseball lives for these knife-edge nights; the Jays just need to survive one more.

This Is Bigger Than Baseball

Look at the roster and you see Canada: Yesavage from the States, Guerrero from the Dominican, Schneider grinding out of small-town Ontario. Different passports, same hunger. Bars from Victoria to St. John’s are packed, kids are wearing hand-me-down jerseys, and the CN Tower pulses blue. Win or lose, this run has stitched the country together one comeback at a time.

First pitch is hours away. The roof will be open, the dome will shake, and somewhere Joe Carter is grinning. One more win ends the longest drought in Canadian pro sports. One more win turns a good story into legend.
